WHAT VITAMIN DO WE need in amounts up to 25 times higher than the government recommends for us to be healthy? What vitamin deficiency affects over half of the population, is almost never diagnosed, and has been linked to many cancers, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression, fibromyalgia, chronic muscle pain, bone loss, and [...]
I WAS IN THE GROCERY STORE YESTERDAY. While I was squeezing avocados to pick just the right ones for my family’s dinner salad, I overheard a conversation from a couple who had also picked up a fruit. “Oh, these avocados look good, let’s get some.” Then looking up at the price, they said, “Two for [...]
EATING SOY CAN KILL YOU! Scan the media reports and surf the Internet, and you’re bound to come across scary claims that would lead you to believe this is true. You may have heard: Soy will give you breast cancer. Soy formula is dangerous to babies. Genetically modified soy foods may modify you. Soy foods [...]

And they didn’t have any obesity or chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or dementia. Of course, I wouldn’t advise anyone today to eat 12 [...]
GOT MILK? These days, it seems like almost everybody does. Celebrities, athletes, and even former president Clinton’s head of Health and Human Services, Donna Shalala, are all proud to wear the white “milk mustache.” After all, everyone knows that you need milk to be healthy … Dairy is nature’s perfect food — but only if [...]
THERE’S NO DOUBT about it. Artificial sweeteners cause obesity. I always thought it was funny to see a very large person order a Big Mac, large fries — and top it off with a Diet Coke. I also found it peculiar that I rarely saw thin people drinking diet sodas. So I began to wonder [...]
DESPITE THE COMMON observation that obesity runs in families, genetic research shows that the habits you inherit from your family are more important than the genes you inherit. Obesity genes account for only five percent of all weight problems. Then, we have to wonder, what causes the other 95 percent of weight problems? We are [...]

There was a woman with mild cognitive impairment on the panel. Her condition is sort of like pre-Alzheimer’s disease. Everyone on the panel — including the Harvard neurologist — agreed that [...]
YOUR CHILDREN WILL DIE younger than we will. That’s a scary thought — and one that’s going to become a fact if we keep following the same bad habits of the last 30 years. There’s no doubt about it. We’re living in a toxic food environment. But it doesn’t have to be this way. This week, [...]
